@minion-queen said in In Other News - iPhone 8 has earpiece issues:

I can't imagine having that not work. I use it constantly (though I have broken I think like 6 pairs of the ear buds).

I generally just have my ear buds get into a massive knot and then I throw them out in a rage.

Well sure, but earbuds suck. Get some damn headphones.

So for those using APFS, how is it looking now that you've had a few weeks with it?

Nothing noticeably different.

@gjacobse said in iTunes: Authorize previous Authorized computer:

So - I am again being prompted to Authorize a computer that was authorized for iTunes - else may iOS apps will be deleted.

Has anyone encountered this?

You changed something. Because I have never once had to reauthorize a computer that was already authorized.

Additionally, Apple does not "delete" anything. as it is all tied to your account.

I changed something.. iTunes updated my iOS device to the latest version of the iOS -

Yea, I know Apple doesn't delete anything - it's nice that they don't - but also quite annoying as I have apps (free) that I would like to erase from the history....

I think they win the internet for today.

It was a brave move to make, but a smart one.

Not even nearly so creepy as Echo Look. Get your fashion advice from Amazon, and maybe a few pointers on other things as well...

There is an ebb and flow to all technology. Apple is no exception to it.

Nice! That is awesome!

Similar to how Uber and taxis reduce the number of cars needed and cars on the road, but to a more significant degree.

Wow, Blackberry is alive again.

Depends where you are, some places it's still very actively used. We just made a deal for a new web development project called one of the big caveats was that we had to make it work well on Blackberry because all the sea levels only use blackberries. It also happens to be a Canadian client.

A rising tide lifts all ships?

The sea level is keeping Blackberry afloat?

LMAO

@mlnews What I read of that article seemed like "We have no news, we need to talk more about this thing from last week."

Anybody have 7+ years working with CentOS?

Check out this job at Apple: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/253326083

Ohh, they're not using Windows servers?

They just phased out Netware 😉

Just? That probably explains some things.

That's that. You can use extremely limited (2) VMs for testing or development, nothing more. You VPS, no cloud computing. No multi-tenant. So that is why Apple has no VPS presence, it's not allowed. You can get PS, but not VPS.

Supreme Court upheld it.

One more reason we really need Self Driving cars!!!!

@IRJ said in Unlocking a Wiped iPad:

I would just get rid of the device. Selling it for parts could possibly get him in trouble if the 2nd owner came up with it in a shady way.

Yeah, I don't know all the details. I was just asking. I agree it sounds shady but I honestly don't know what the details are.

@stess said in iPhone 6 Plus dying... need new phone... suggestion?:

Well.... after reading your comments... I will give iPhone another chance (also because Oneplus 3T is 3 weeks away). I believe Apple has 14 days refund policy or sometime so it doesn't hurt my wallet that much.

If you have the $$$ go with the highest amount of memory you can afford.

I switched from 16GB to 128GB. SO much better!!

Totally agree!! I went all the way to 256GB. No more worrying about deleting songs, or pictures.
